Pacific cod has moist, firm fillets, a distinctive large flake and a slightly sweet flavor. Unlike Atlantic cod, the Pacific cod is smaller in size and brighter in color. Pacific cod are found in the coastal North Pacific Ocean, from the Bering Sea to Southern California in the east and to the Sea of Japan in the west. Pacific cod have a relatively short life less than 20 years.
Atlantic cod is one of the most well-known fish species in the world. It is known for its firm white meat and high nutritional values. The characteristics of the Atlantic cod are spotted skin, whit a distinct white lateral line running from head to tail.
